I need an intern. (I shouldn’t say that out loud. My husband is constantly telling me to hire an intern.) These contests have been challenging me a bit, logistically, lately. Nevertheless, that shan’t stop me from soldiering onward in my quest to clean out my office give you fun free stuff.
Last week I offered up a pair of funny books for modern moms, and the random number generator has decreed that commenter 118, Holly, is our lucky winner. Congratulations, Holly—please check your email! Thanks to Cool Mom Picks for making those prizes possible. (And for employing me, too. Just in general.)
This week I realized I’ve been hanging onto another little gem I had saved for giveaway, and it’s this: Twisted Fish, a hilariously twisted version of “Go Fish” for ages 6+ from McNeill Designs. Special cards allow players to bend the rules and go all Lord of the Flies. (Well, you don’t get to put a pig’s head on a spear, or push anyone off a cliff or anything. Maybe Lord of the Flies is a bit of an overstatement.) Anyway, it’s a fun alternative to the same ol’ boring Go Fish, I promise.
Want to win it? Of course you do! First go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. Eastern (that’s 8:59 p.m. Pacific) on Wednesday, April 14th, 2010 to be entered. Winner to be determined by random number generation and whether or not you have any 2s.
Ready? Go!
I want one!
Oh, please! Just played Go Fish last night and I need something better!

My husband insists on changing the rules for every game we play to “make it more interesting”. He’d like this. But he’d still probably change rules.
Sounds interesting!

Oh fun.
And you’d think being surrounded by lots of college students, you could find one eager to work for just a few hours a week doing things like going to the post office for you. You could sell them on ‘learning the blog world’ aka doing your errands.
My grandkids, ages 9 & 5, would love this. They are true card sharks!
Go fish always fun. Twisted fish sounds even better!
Pick me! thanks
would love to have one
Fun!
I’m game!
The kids need their own game for game night.
I’m twisted and I like fish…

Thanks Mir!
Cool, thanks Mir.
Fingers crossed! 🙂
Thank you!
I have seven twos!
Grandma NEEDS this for her next visit!
Does the intern have to be local, or is living 2 hours away and cyber-commuting cool? 😛
My husband and I have decided that there are far worse games than Go Fish. Add a twist and we’ll stay home to play every weekend!
Fun!
Sounds neat. Thanks mir!
Sounds fun!!

Yes, please! Thanks!

Ooh, ooh… Pick me, pick me!!! 🙂
My son loves to sing the little fish song. You know, the one where the little fish gets swallowed by a bigger fish that gets swallowed by an octopus all the way up to the humongous whale. We have little actions to go with each sea creature and then at the end he gives a large burp and says, “excuse me!†So very polite my son is.
Go fish!
Sounds fun!!
Would like to win this.
I like twisted things!
I’m pretty sure this would make my kids laugh demonically. We need more of that around here.
My son is a Go Fish card shark. I’m ready for something new.
I’m in!
Twisted Fish sounds like something my twisted family would enjoy!
